Also to be a charity you just have to not pay out profits; the people running the charity can pay themselves whatever they like as wages.

it's going to be a foundation like Help for Heroes where the mysterious category of "miscellaneous expenses" somehow accounts for 95% of their income

It's almost sad that it's impossible for these ghouls to think of any plan to help people that doesn't involve some waster getting filthy rich for doing a poo poo job

While this is true at a base level it's complicated as gently caress to get charity status and run a charity once you have it.

NB This poll was 'red wall' that went tory in 2019 only. https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1477398022065688583?s=20 Zalakwe posted:While this is true at a base level it's complicated as gently caress to get charity status and run a charity once you have it. The vast majority of people working in the sector do it as at least somewhat a labour of love. As someone who works for a small local charity I concur! We have just three employees, all of us part-time and the FTE salary of the Chief Exec is under £30k (I'm not sure exactly what it is as I only see the pro-ratad net when it turns up in Xero but a reverse calc based on her hours and without knowing how much NEST / tax code etc comes up to something around £27-£29k). We're all doing substantially over our paid hours and there's no overtime or 'time off in lieu' available. Fortunately, as you know, I love doing spreadsheets and attempting to bend Salesforce to my will. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Jan 2, 2022 |

It would be funny if they calibrated the algorithm according to the most common sexual assaulters and now white boomers would be followed from pub to home by drones, which would then stay on watch behind the bedroom window.

All you need to do is phone the police and say "Hi I'm a vulnerable woman and I'll be at home all on my own at 123 Acacia Avenue all night".

I like the sidebar. "The Conservatives have delivered improvements in quality of life and employment, but we can't do the green new deal stuff because people are barely making ends meet and can't afford their gas bills, anyway we need to focus on people's priorities rather than what we think they want, so more controls on immigration."

Fuckin' hell. No more neophiliac tech boondoggles please. Simpler and cheaper to offer (or make available for collection at nightclubs etc.) every woman who felt she might be in this position; a very powerful torch*, a gently caress-off loud alarm and an aluminium baseball bat. Maybe a taser. * a friend once escaped a stop by a motorcycle cop by zapping him with the mecablitz flash gun he had with him as the orificer stuck his head in his car window. Something bright enough to do that. The Question IRL posted:You joke, but the end of that train of thought I "get loads of Ripley in Power Loaders on every street at night." Totally up for armed female self-defence groups. Some kind of Panthers.

They will never actually have drones follow people or whatever, if anything it'll be just another way to funnel money from the public purse to Tory donor's pockets which then goes back to the Tory party again.

WhatEvil posted:They will never actually have drones follow people or whatever, if anything it'll be just another way to funnel money from the public purse to Tory donor's pockets which then goes back to the Tory party again. Following on from Nenonen's post, if this scheme gets approved, a Met Police officer will 100% use the drone to sexually harass someone. If not something worse. And Priti Patel will use the drone to 'prove' the person isn't entitled to stay in the country.

Be at peace, citizen. The drone is there for your protection. Friend computer would never hurt you. It is not tangled in your hair. An officer will be dispatched shortly to relieve you of your scalp.

Flying drones in a city, on unplanned routes, at night, out of line of sight, over uninvolved members of the public, is such a safety and regulatory nightmare that I can't imagine how anyone would ever get permission for it without specific legislation. If the UK follows the new EASA rules or similar for UAS it'd require a named operator who has qualified on the special "certified" license, the full rules for which are not yet published but based on the old system it'll be expensive and time consuming to achieve and require regular logged flights and maintenance to stay current on. Possibly you'd be able to get blanket approval for limited missions following a specific flight profile, but unless vulnerable women stick to preapproved routes you'd need each flight planned and signed off, seeking permission from the aviation authority beforehand. The whole idea would be laughable except that it's the cops so I guess the law doesn't really matter and they'll hand over the controls to whoever fancies a shot.
